DOLPHINS LOOK TO 'WHITE OUT' NE-10 RIVAL SAINT ROSE ON WEDNESDAY IN HOME OPENER.

SYRACUSE, NY – The Le Moyne College basketball teams will open their home schedule on Wednesday, November 19th as they host Northeast-10 Conference rival Saint Rose beginning at 5:30 PM at Ted Grant Court. Both games will be televised across the state live on Time Warner Cable Sports and the men's contest will also be broadcast live on the radio on ESPN Radio 1260.


Fans are encouraged to participate in the 'White Out' on Wednesday evening by wearing white to cheer on the Dolphins. The first 1,000 fans will receive a free Le Moyne Dolphins t-shirt with many other promotional items available through the night. Tickets for the doubleheader are just $5 for adults and $3 for youth. Le Moyne College students, faculty and staff are admitted free each home game with a College ID.

Under the direction of Jeanne Murphy '95, the women's basketball team opened their campaign with two victories in the Golden Bear Classic at Kutztown University last weekend. Le Moyne features a balanced offensive attack with five players averaging 10 points per game. All-conference performer Courtney Coryea leads the team with 14.5 points and seven rebounds per game.

Following their opener at the Carrier Dome against Syracuse University in the O'Reily Autopart CBE Classic, the men's team looks avenge two losses to the Golden Knights in 2007-08. The Dolphins are led by junior preseason All-America Laurence Ekperigin who recorded 14 points on 7-of-10 shooting against the Orange. The Dolphins also showcase a number of newcomers as Steve Evans takes the helm on the heights for the ninth season.
